Deja Hillis is a wife, mother, teacher, and self-published author on Amazon and Ingram Spark. Her work includes the short story, "Prisoner of Blue" and the children's book "A life with Joy." Her passion for writing is fueled by her experience growing up as an awkward child with a sudden and unexplained hearing impairment. A shiny lime-colored journal she was given from a teacher became her escape from the challenges and insecurities she faced in her youth. Her hope today is to continue to inspire others through her witty work, faith, and to have the courage to discover your voice, no matter the circumstances
